Are You A Bad Hotel Guest?

Anyone who has ever stayed in a hotel has, at one time or another, experienced a bad hotel guest situation. You’ve got stories, right?

The usual complaints are partying neighbors, loud hallway conversations, and doors slamming at 2 a.m.

However, there are also ways to show that you’re a great hotel guest!

Read more about to learn how to be a courteous, thoughtful and respectful hotel guest…and how to avoid being an impolite hotel guest in this insightful article in The Elliot Report.

Thank you, Christopher Elliott, for using me as a resource for your syndicated article, “Are you a bad hotel guest? Here’s how to know”

In the article, Christopher points out different ways guests may behave poorly in a hotel and shares some specific instances which will help you reflect on your own behavior. He then offers great advice on how to make things right after acting or doing something rude.

I had the pleasure of sharing some tips on how to be a respectful guest, like greeting the hotel staff in the hallway and being mindful of other people’s presence.

It’s important to follow these guidelines whether you’re staying at a hotel for just one night or plan to say for a week.
